  • Work on your book report that is due Monday
I am still receiving questions about the information I posted and emailed you about on Tuesday, so I don't know how many of you read the revised book report instructions. I have included them below. This information is in the Book Report Module. The schedule and outline will be found in the Book Report Module.
 Revised Book Report Instructions

Genre: Biography or Autobiography
Monday, May 4th:  ALL summaries and creative ideas are due on this date.

Do not email your written report or creative idea to Mrs. Hudson! 
Learn how to submit your work to Canvas.
(Watch the video in Mrs. Brailer's Technology class. Go to Technology class, click on Announcements, and Click on the "ScannerPro Canvas Submission Walkthrough" announcement. From there, you will see how to submit a file.)
May 4th-8thPresentations. Please see the revised presentation schedule to find out when you will present your book summary. If you are absent on your presentation day, then your presentation will be due during the next Zoom call.
Because you are presenting during the Zoom call, you will share only the written book report. You will submit your creative idea to Canvas, or drop off your creative idea with your imagery project by May 6th. All presentations should be under 5 minutes.  It is important that you rehearse and time yourself in preparation for your presentation.
Book Report Creative Ideas
A timeline is not an option for this report. You may use a creative idea you have used in the past.
  1. Design a map of the area where the person’s life takes place. Make sure to include a scale and legend. The finished product should be on poster board and fully colored. You may include computer images. Take a picture or scan and submit to Canvas->Book Report Module: Creative Idea by May 4th. 
  2. Write five journal entries from the point of view of the person in the book. The journal entries should give a glimpse of the person’s life, and there should be five entries in all. The journal entries should be neat and written in cursive so that you can display them proudly. Take a picture or scan and submit to Canvas->Book Report Module: Creative Idea by May 4th. 
  3. Write a news article about one important event in the person’s life that answers: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Pretend you are a newscaster and give us the information in a “live” news broadcast. The news article should be typed to look like a newspaper article and should include one image of the person. Send as a PDF to Canvas-> Book Report Module: Creative Idea by May 4th. 
  4. Make a slide show using Keynote or PowerPoint about one particular time in the person’s life or a major accomplishment. You should include 5-7 visually appealing slides that contain information that was NOT explained in your summarySend as a Keynote or PDF to Canvas-> Book Report Module: Creative Idea by May 4th.
